...made to take the brunt of X-ray damage, leaving the inner shield to protect the warhead as it descends through the atmosphere. A neutron-blocking layer of paraffin or liquid hydrogen can prevent the uranium trigger from fissioning prematurely. Installation of more rugged electrical components and addition of bypass circuits reduce the possibility of damage from the surge of current caused by an electromagnetic pulse...
Race & Results. Fewer and fewer child-seeking parents have to patronize the "grey market"-that is, to bypass the formal agencies and deal with a doctor who delivers an illegitimate child. The costs run from $1,000 to $2,000; the adoptive parents usually pay the mother's hospital bills, plus a lawyer's fees for drawing up legal adoption papers.

Not long ago, a scooter cop and a prowl-car team simultaneously got word of a burglary; riding on sidewalks, the scooter man beat the car by seven minutes and nabbed the burglar...
...Manet show will be seen only at the Art Institute of Chicago before being disassembled and sent back to the lenders. Among other major exhibitions slated to bypass New York is Chicago's "Treasures from Poland," on loan from the Polish government, which will go only to Philadelphia and Ottawa. "The Age of Rembrandt," which includes paintings from major Netherlands museums that may never again be allowed abroad, will be seen only in San Francisco, Toledo and Boston. Equally rare is Cleveland's "Treasures from Medieval Art," which includes a host of objects never seen outside France before...
...correspondents were more fortunate than most, for at every stop they were met by TIME staffers ready to smooth the way. In Manila, a special wire to New York was set up from the bedroom of Manila Stringer Gil Santos. Thus we were able to bypass the regular wire offices, which were swamped with copy from the 1,000 reporters in town...
